"Hello you've reached the office of Alpha Fred Packet, this is Nora speaking."

"Hello Mis. Nora this is Henry Bishop calling, I'm looking to see if Mr. Packet is available to speak with me.?"

"I'm afraid his schedule is full for the next two days, however...I might be able to squeeze you in, three days from now if that's alright?"

"That would be perfect."

"Ok wonderful. We will see you here for 8 in the morning. Can I add a note as to why you are meeting with him?"

"Yes. It's actually to discuss litigation matters."

"Okay, we will see you then. Have a good day."

"I'll be right there, just find yourself a seat."

"Hi there what can I get you?"

"Shit."

"What the fuck is going on?"

I'm being tailed..but why, and how long?"

"Who the fuck knew I would be here? Only Sam knew. Unless he told others....even so why would I be tailed?"

If he knew I was at the cafe, he must have followed me to the library...which also means he knows where I'm staying."

"Good morning Mis. Nora, my name is Henry Bishop, I have an 8 o'clock appointment with Mr. Packet."

"Good morning Mr. Bishop, let me see if he's ready for you."

"He's ready to see you sir."

"Mr. Bishop."

"Good morning Mr. Packet."

Nora could you please get us some water."

"Yes of course."

"So how can I help you Mr. Bishop. My assistant informed me you wanted to discuss a litigation. Unfortunately for me, your going to have to tell me which one."

I need to discuss the outcome of your litigation that took place in 2004 against the Ka- Luna pack."

What on earth would you need to know about that!"

I'm sorry I had to be blunt about it, but there is good reason why I'm here to ask you. I have read about the battle over territorial rights, but I haven't been able to find any information in regards to the attack that followed shortly after. I wanted to know if you knew anything about it, seeing that you and there Alpha are brothers?"

"We're brothers!? Is this some sick joke! you just show up here to what! blackmail me!?"

"I assure you Mr. Packet, that is not my intent-"

"Well whatever your bloody intentions are, you aren't going to get any information from me!!"

Nora let this gentleman out please, and make sure he leaves the building!"

"Please! There's someone I'm helping."

"I'm sorry Mr. Bishop, please if you could follow me. I'll escort you off the premises now."

"I'm sorry Rosalie."

"I heard what you said, before I entered the room with your refreshments. You mentioned the Ka-Luna pack."

"Y...yes I did."

"You said Rosalie. Do you mean Rosalie Winters!?"

"Wh- y..yes....How did you know? Wait do you know her?"

"How do you know her?"

I'm helping her."

She's alive!?"

How do you know her?"

"Tonight 8 pm."

"Yes please."

"Miss. Nora, why did you invite me here?"

"Rosalie Winters."

Tell me what happened to her."

She came to my pack not long ago asking for my help. My son...he brought her after he found her living alone in the woods."

The woods?"

"Y..yes. There was an attack on her pack long ago. 14 years approximately, and since the attack she fled and shifted for the first time that night. Since then she hasn't been able to change back. U...until recently that is."

"She's alive."

"Yes."

Miss. Nora, may I ask how you know her?"

"She's my niece."

Your niece!?"

"Yes."

He's my brother in law."

"We were both born into the Ka-Luna pack. And when I found my mate, I married into this one. You were right to come here.

Their deaths were my fault.

The litigation you were talking about...it didn't stop there. The Packet brothers resented eachother for years, and it wasn't until their father died that his brother fought tooth and nail for this territory, claiming he had rights over it. And when the council didn't rule in his favor, he got vengeful.

My sister Sylvie."

"The Alpha of the Ka-Luna pack plotted to attack us, and if it wasn't for the warning from my sister, they may have succeeded. Fred attacked first, essentially killing all but a few that managed to escape."

But how is their deaths your fault?"

"Because Sylvie told me about the impending attack and I told Fred.

And now you tell me my presumed dead niece is alive and well after spending 14 years in solitude."

"Miss. Nora."

The only ones to blame are the ones who burdened you all with their hate."

Is she here with you? My Rosalie?"

"I'm afraid not, but she is back at my pack house."

"Nora."

Are you expecting anyone?"

"Come with me."

Lock this door and don't come out till I tell you. We aren't alone."

"Miss. Nora!"

"Tell me who sent you!? How did you find me!?!"

"Henry."

What's going on?"

"I don't know."

"Is it done!?"

"Hello?"

"Son, where's Rose....where is she!? is she safe?"

"Dad! hold on I can't hear you!"

"For god sake Sam....Sam!!"

"Okay, what is it you said?"

"Son, someone just tried to kill me! Where's Rose?!? Listen carefully son....Locklin! Locklin sent the guy to kill me....he was part of her pack..."

Be careful Sam... "
